"The quality of this game is indeed very high. Whether it's the Houston Rockets playing at home or the Dallas Mavericks playing away, they obviously don't want to lose in a matchup of this level."

When D'Antoni requested a timeout again, the game truly came to the final moment.

Will the Houston Rockets defend their home glory or the Dallas Mavericks create their away glory?

At this time, the eyes of basketball fans all over the world are focused on Toyota Center.

"As of now, the player with the highest score in the game is James Harden. He has scored 34 points. For him, maintaining the record of 35 consecutive points is close at hand."

"Following him is Bayonet. After not attacking much in the first two quarters, Bayonet started the scoring mode in the third and fourth quarters. His current score is only two points less than James Harden."

"There is no doubt that for both of them, their biggest goal now is not how many points they can score, but they both want to lead the team to victory in this game."

After the timeout, when the home fans discovered that Chris Paul was still sitting on the bench even at the last moment, everyone was shocked and immediately questioned D'Antoni's formation.

What are you doing?

As the team's core organizer and second-in-command, why did Chris Paul sit on the bench at such a critical moment?

Was he in poor condition in this game? Obviously not, so what was the reason?

Many home fans immediately frowned.

But in fact, the one who is most uneasy at the moment should be D'Antoni. Everyone is absolutely sure that he is out of his mind. How could he make such a formation at such a critical moment?

But in fact, do you think he is willing to do this?

His original intention was to hope that Chris Paul would also appear on the court at the last moment, but team leader James Harden did not agree with him. James Harden even told him bluntly that if Chris Paul appeared on the court, then he would

It won't appear.

D'Antoni has no choice. Between James Harden and Chris Paul, he can only choose the former.

Hence the current situation.

D'Antoni was praying to God more than once in his heart at this moment. He hoped that James Harden could lead the team to win this last-minute showdown no matter what.

Because he knows very well that once the team loses the game tonight, once it loses the game because of D'Antoni's very strange and even fainting formation at the last moment, then immediately after the game,

D'Antoni will become the target of criticism from thousands of fans and will become the target of public criticism.

By then, his position as head coach may also be shaken.

Therefore, he absolutely expects James Harden to show his big heart and lead the team to victory.

On the court, James Harden used a skillful step-back shot as soon as he came on to help the Rockets take a 3-point lead.

Whoosh!

James Harden's three-pointer was like a timely rain, deeply touching the hearts of the home fans.

To be honest, when the game came to the final moment, no one could still maintain an upright posture, and everyone stood up involuntarily.

"Yes! James Harden in the regular season is trustworthy. Even at the most critical moments, he still has the ability to steadily send the ball into the basket."

Charles Barkley's comments at this time have two meanings.

The first level is that he recognizes the big heart shown by James Harden at this moment.

On the second level, it is not unusual for James Harden to show such a big heart in the regular season, but the subconscious meaning is that James Harden has never achieved such a famous scene as the protagonist in the playoffs.

.

Jiang Hao felt that since he joined the alliance a year ago, this was not the first time that he had been in a critical moment like this, so he didn't feel nervous at all.

On the contrary, Jiang Hao felt that his whole body was restless at this moment, and the blood all over his body was flowing rapidly. This was a feeling of physical excitement.

He is a player who becomes stronger when faced with strong situations. For this kind of scene, he was born to be the protagonist.

So Jiang Hao moved in the next second.

When facing Gerald Green's tracking defense, he positioned himself on the right side of the paint and used Trevor Ariza's footsteps to move a spicy screen, briefly getting rid of Gerald Green's defense.

Then he quickly detoured to the free throw line and moved to the left side of the paint area. After a quick reverse fake run, he successfully got rid of Gerald Green completely.

Then Luka Doncic's pass was just right, at a 45-degree position on the left side of the top of the arc. After receiving the ball, Jiang Hao made a quick 90-degree adjustment and successfully completed the pass one second before James Harden pounced on him.

Take action.

brush!

Hit!

The score was evened again!

"Beautiful, well done, this is a historical level of getting rid of the defense and hitting the shot."

On the other side of the ocean, in the Beijing studio, Ke Fan was so excited that his headset almost fell off due to his excitement.

In NBA history, there are many masters without the ball.

What's the meaning?

The so-called off-ball master is one who can hit shots without continuously holding the ball. Take the current NBA as an example. Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors is the most typical off-ball master.

In fact, for a player who is positioned as a superstar, he also needs to be able to play without the ball.

This point has actually been verified by the two top historical superstars, Michael Jordan and the Black Mamba Kobe Bryant, the god of basketball.

For a long time, whether it is Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant, the first impression given to fans is their breakthrough with the ball, and they are very dominant when playing alone.

But in fact, in addition to being great at attacking with the ball, these two guys are also very outstanding at attacking without the ball. This is especially evidenced by the great kill scenes in their two careers.

Since Jiang Hao was born a year ago, the deepest impression on everyone is that he is very outstanding in singles, and he is an offensive player who is catching up with Kobe and Jordan.

To be honest, in terms of off-the-ball performance, before this, Jiang Hao did not leave a deep impression on people.

However, judging from the ball just now, Jiang Hao has the same top-notch ability without the ball, especially the back-and-forth fake move that he used to get rid of Gerald Green with the help of a screen, which was simply coquettish to the extreme.
Chapter completed!
